We want to be a family friendly restaurant you can drop by for a great meal while visiting the Oregon Coast.”

The menu will feature fresh, handmade pastas from Rigatoni with Bolognese to Angel Hair with Clam Sauce to Bucatini with Guanciale.

Local Oregon wines and beers will lead the drinks menu, followed by international and Italian selections made by Stormee Wills.
